Biotremology is a new and emerging discipline in biological
sciences that covers all aspects of behavior associated with
substrate-borne mechanical waves. This volume provides
state-of-the-art reviews and technical contributions from leading
experts and invited younger researchers on topics from signal
production and transmission to perception in its ecological
context. Reviews about the knowledge of well-studied groups are
complemented with perspectives on the study of less-explored groups
or contexts. Special attention is given to practical issues in
measuring substrate-borne vibrations as well as to applied
biotremology. The book appeals to all those interested in
communication and vibrational behavior.
This volume is a self-contained companion piece to Studying
Vibrational Communication, published in 2014 within the same
series. The field has expanded considerably since then, and has
even acquired a name of its own: biotremology. In this context, the
book reports on new concepts in this fascinating discipline, and
features chapters on state-of-the art methods for studying behavior
tied to substrate-borne vibrations, as well as an entire section on
applied biotremology. Also included are a historical contribution
by pioneers in the field and several chapters reviewing the
advances that have been made regarding specific animal taxa. Other
new topics covered are vibrational communication in vertebrates,
multimodal communication, and biotremology in the classroom, as
well as in art and music. Given its scope, the book will appeal to
all those interested in communication and vibrational behavior, but
also to those seeking to learn about an ancient mode of
communication.
